IWhen my friend Rebecca finally found the vacation, it was a humid night. She was scrolling through the self-catering site in a little pocket of hope for the previous week, but inevitably all dates during the school holidays were booked. His search term widened: location, not important. Room if possible; toilet, but only if you don’t mind too much. What she wanted from this year’s vacation was to just leave the house and open the door to another location. It was then that she noticed something. British owners have made creative decisions to meet the demands of British holidaymakers who had no plans to go abroad this summer.

What was a family greenhouse the year before was quickly converted to include a small kitchenette and served as a villa. There was also a cabin. A pretty hut, certainly, but a very hut, with a small “Bless This Home” sign hanging like a plea on the quilt. With desperate pleasure, Rebecca booked a place called Penbury Hall. This is a static caravan in the backyard of a warm couple who are very fond of dogs. This is the first time that it has been rented. It’s not clear if this is the first time they’ve listed it, or if it’s the first time everyone needs enough vacation to book it.

I’m glad to find out that I like it. Of course, I am in a pandemic phase, with my hands on the stumps rubbing hard against the silver lining, but when I try to “confuse” with a little treble I am particularly pleased with the good mood of the season. I am. Sure, swimming with the dolphins is fun, but imagine how comfortable it is to sleep in the greenhouse. Sure, two weeks in Turkey is fine, but imagine how fun it is toast breakfast with your loved one, a lighter.

It’s the same attitude women have seen in all of football, where they spent the boring moments of nightly games on Twitter. Imagine two Gareth Southgate fathers around 50 years old.. OK, other famous men are available, and OK, they maybe only have a handful of abs, they can have better jokes, and you stand tall There are dark brown eyes that make you lie down where you are, but these guys are coming out soon Got some canesten on sunday afternoon? They don’t. There is a magnificent realism in the occasional group clashes in Britain. It crumbles on the basis of closeness, comfort, and emotional decline in expectations (as if a greenhouse vacation or a stranger’s tea claims to be delicious). No, Gareth Southgate comes down to your husband’s house on his bike and doesn’t grumble for you to get on, as he does a two-hour survey before buying an affordable buggy. Gently bring yourself a small plate Prepare some cheese and sliced ​​apples in the second hour of the zoom meeting. He has a bad shoulder, so he gets a memory foam pillow for your birthday.

He asks your best friend how her cervical treatment went, and doesn’t forget that the professor is withdrawing money to leave a gift, and the ones you put in the shower cap surprise you with two of the catches – aluminum hair. He writes very little notes with his left hand and keeps your daughter that they were really tooth fairy in their twenties. He quietly congratulates you on making a difficult call by lightly placing a warm hand behind your neck. When it rains, hold your umbrella diagonally to cover yourself, even if the entire left side is submerged. No, he walks through town to find you at a party, pushing his whole body against the wall and not shouting, “I want you. But on the other hand, it patiently waits for the virgin carrier to see if the internet is down in your area. It waits for you to get home before starting the crossword. He’s worried about your blood sugar, so bring Twix when you pick you up from work and order a discreet screen protector for your expensive new phone. Ex-boyfriend who sort of wonders a lot about his fitness regimen when you end up having a drink with him and his terribly blonde wife. When you’re struggling to line up the paragraphs on your resume, he’ll put his tea down and offer to leave if you want.

It won’t surprise you on a voluntary trip to Bali, but in reality it is not better to take a coach to Bournemouth. You can come home at dinner time, and the cats? Yes, that’s a rare positive thing about wet mattresses this year. We were devoted to the little things and remembered the value of the small and tender joy. We went on vacation to a double glazed cabin and found it very comfortable, in fact thank you.
